Don't misunderstand--it is not my mystery, but God's, who has only revealed "here a little, there a little" to His chosen; and riddles and parables are of His doing too, having confused all language at Babel--which has not been rescinded, that only those with spiritual discernment should...

Here: “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. But if that evil...

This is the greatest error of the church age, so it is important to consider it without any other issues on the table. Indeed, Paul explained in the way it would appear--that is in the way it would appear in the world. But I am not referring to the things of this world, but rather of the...

Why do you assume that? It is not correct. He said rather, that "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life." The exception is rather if one "believes" or not. So, yes, there is a condition...and therefore, for those who do not believe His salvation is...

Truth be known, there is only One resurrection (but two or three accounts told regarding all who are included). Just as it is also written, "that our old man was crucified with Him."

No, it is the opposite that is true. Salvation begins and ends with Christ, and It is finished. To the contrary, it is "circular" for lack of faith, to keep coming back to the idea that one is not saved after being saved.

As for the timing issues: What are we talking about? Some--most, cannot help but focus on the events as they pertain to men and this world--I get that. But that is not what I was getting at in starting this thread. I was hoping to have a little more head scratching and considering of God's...

That certainly has been the popular belief for most of these past 2,000 years. However, it violates the principle and parable of the evil servant who came to say "My master is delaying his coming." But if you are up to being reasonable, surely you have only expressed what the perspective is...

Memo to God and His prophets. :) Thanks for cc'ing me!

You have not accused me of saying something untrue. Still you are offended. Speaks volumes.

I have said a lot on this subject, but the greatest point is the comparison we have with what occurred when Jesus came the first time. I shouldn't have to repeat what history is repeating. Religion and secular government had then taken over for hundreds of years prior to the first coming of...

You are not being honest. The Pharisees were learned men and knew the scriptures. Comparatively, so are many Christians of today. The Pharisees did not realize who was among them even after being told. Comparatively, most Christians today say they have Jesus in them but deny that He has come...

Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. Now, I know that is not what you may have been expecting, but that is the time of His coming. As for the specific time--God knows, and so...

The comparison between common Christian belief and that of the Pharisees, is not unlike the days being "as the days of Noah." Which can be denied also in a thousand ways and be just as wrong. That would mean simply not getting the comparison. What is comparable is that the Pharisees did not see...

Good, not everyone is asleep! As the world got closer to the coming of Messiah the miracles of old became legend and folklore loosing steam and then were propped up with religious practices. Then He came. Since then things have built in numbers but wane in power as the miracles have again...

Yes, there is definitely a pattern: Isaiah 6:9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ Matthew 13:13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they...

No, but keep asking, keep knocking.

I have quoted the scriptures you have not reconciled and explained the whole truth, and you deny that I have even quoted them. For this reason you also are denied. You just denied about half of all that is written...so, yeah, I see how you would feel that way.

You deny those scriptures you say cannot be found against the Holy Spirit. For this same reason they are denied to you.
